The Hawthorne studies were focused on exploring the noneconomic and social factors that influence behavior in organizational settings, such as human relations, motivation, and job satisfaction. They did not stress efficiency and monetary rewards for workers, did not assign management responsibilities based on 14 key principles, nor did they lead to the effective restructuring of large organizations into bureaucracies.
